I would enjoy as much audio as you care to provide. Thank you!

My fave part (besides hearing your luscious husbandly voice in my ears) is: There are no mirrors, not even angled above the pies.

I like the imagery with the diner. New Year's Day in Fort Hook seems pretty in character for the place. Also ouch, that waitress did not hold back.

I really liked the little girl cursing and the instantly glazed over eyes and I LOVED the audio. A+ work, will come again.

Why do I think that Fort Hook floats and may or may not be visible to the nekkid human eye at any given time? If we're going full emotional-honesty-AMA.

There's a truck stop diner I like that serves damp scrambled eggs but they list them on the menu as "Muddled Cackleberry - Poached" because it sounds fancier.

To be honest, I rarely like anything "audio" anymore so I'll probably just read the newsletter in the original voice I imagined (basically mine but more resonant and with an almost imperceptible lisp as if trying to hide a Spanish accent).

What little things we learn. Fort Hook is für enough south for writers to go for breakfast in passable dresses, but more importantly, for a winter sun that glares, and doesn't sulk on the horizon, rising late and quitting early.

I am booking a ticket now. And until I arrive, I shall eagerly await the next post.

If you are to provide an audio format please record said audio in your car as per the usual practice. C.f. "Pirate Boots".
